The courses included literacy classes and general classes taught by Harvard College and Radcliffe College students and faculty.[4][5][1] CSU withstood the financial troubles of the First World War and the Great Depression. However, a 1937 feasibility study showed that the organization was in trouble.[6] In 1938, in conjunction with the Boston Center for Adult Education, the Cambridge Social Union became the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. It offered evening courses to local residents and in 1941 became an independently run organization.[1] Course offeringsIn the spring semester of 2011, the CCAE offered courses in the following areas:[7] {{Div col|small=no|colwidth=22em}}

In 1889 the Social Union purchased and moved into the House of William Brattle at 42 Brattle Street, which was built in 1727. In late 1972 the Cambridge Center acquired the Blacksmith House (the former Window Shop) property. Blacksmith House includes the Dexter Pratt House, built in 1811, where Longfellow observed the famous Village Blacksmith at work under the Spreading Chestnut Tree in 1839. Both houses are being preserved by the Center as living museums and are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.|publisher= Cambridge Center for Adult Education }} 4. ^"Cambridge Social Union", The Harvard Crimson, Monday, October 09, 1899 5. ^{{cite news|author= David Wildman|title= Their Way with Words|url= https://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/boston/access/69521143.html?dids=69521143:69521143&FMT=ABS&FMTS=ABS:FT&type=current&date=Mar+04%2C+2001&author=David+Wildman%2C+Globe+Correspondent&pub=Boston+Globe&desc=THEIR+WAY+WITH+WORDS&pqatl=google|quote= Another significant incubator for budding local writers, both as teachers and students, is the Cambridge Center for Adult Education in Harvard Square.
